Physical Planning:

KCCA drew the Kampala Physical Development Plan to guide

urban planning as a key pillar of the City development policy.

With support from the European Union, the Climate Change

Project prepared neighborhood plans for Nakasero, Kololo,

Makerere and Mulago. This will ensure that these areas have

well-planned housing and public facilities, trees, safe walkways,

green parks, roads, cycling lanes and access to public transport.

Over 10,000 trees have been planted in the city and about 4,500

Square meters of green and open spaces have been restored.

We also launched the Kampala Climate Change Strategy and

are currently undertaking a tree audit in the City.

Ugandans and the people of Kampala upon commemorating the 58th Independence

anniversary.

The Government of Uganda has had remarkable achievements in Kampala since

KCCA’s inception nine years ago.

KCCA carried out major institutional reforms to strengthen service delivery. As a

result, the institution attracted highly skilled and dedicated personnel to plan and

execute the City’s development and operations guided by KCCA’s Strategic Plan.

Today, KCCA, takes pride in being one of the most recognized, trusted and valued

brands in the country and abroad. The agency now attracts international fi nanciers

and development partners such as the World Bank, the European Union, African

Development Bank, French Developmenet Agency (AFD) Japan International

Development Agency (JICA), Department of International Development (DFID), Bill &

Melinda Gates Foundation and many others.

Kampala’s transformation journey started in 2011 after Kampala City Council (KCC)

was replaced by Kampala Capital City Authority through an act of parliament (KCC

Act 2010).
